据三名接近首相佩德罗·桑切斯、并因讨论内容保密而要求匿名的人士称,西班牙内阁部长及政府和工人社会党其他高级官员支持提前投票,认为这是在上周议会遭遇惨败后采取的最佳策略。此事发生在市场对法国政治稳定性和预算前景日益担忧的背景下。
Spanish cabinet ministers and other high-ranking government and Socialist party officials support an early ballot as the best strategy following a scathing loss in parliament last week, according to three people close to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who asked not to be named as the discussions are private. The development follows mounting worries over France’s political stability and budget outlook.
